Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 Bandits

  As expected of a businessman who can join the Qibao Chamber of Commerce, he can turn the dead into the living. He didn't look like he was going to get rich by being friendly just now, but seemed to be entangled to the end.

  But Sun was so humble and paid thousands of gold coins for the goods. It's hard to argue with him.

  The main reason is that his cultivation is too low, and he will be exposed if he meets a Soul Master, so he decided to quit while he is ahead.

  "Okay, I'll give the Qibao Chamber of Commerce a favor today."

  Gula took out the gold card: "This is 15,000 gold soul coins, how many medicinal herbs can I buy?"

  "Wait a moment, sir."

  Boss Sun summoned his martial soul, which was a bamboo abacus. After fiddling with it for a few times, he put away his martial soul and said:

  "According to the dozen kinds of medicinal herbs that the kid just mentioned, I can buy about 3,000 copies. The cost price is more than 6,700 copies. Add the 100 copies I promised, and I am willing to make up to 7,000 copies."

  Gula nodded lightly. It was a pleasant surprise. According to the consumption of one ointment a day, these medicinal herbs are enough for him and Tang San to practice for ten years.

  Moreover, the price of medicine is not expensive now. When the new paper is published, the price of medicine will definitely rise sharply. If the medicine is sold, the future research funds will be available.

  At the same time, Gula had to admit the huge profits of the drug dealers. The cost price is two gold coins per copy, and this is the price collected from the place of production. It is estimated that it will cost at least ten or twenty gold coins per copy to buy it at the pharmacy.

  Most of the profits are earned by the middlemen, and ordinary soul masters can't afford it at all.

  Of course, that had nothing to do with Gula.

  The herbs he had chosen were the most common and cheap ones, which had already taken care of most people.

  "Boss Sun is very generous. Forget about what happened just now. Let's prepare to pack the herbs."

  Gula suppressed his smile and retracted his "pressure".

  Boss Sun breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Okay, I'll have someone pack the herbs immediately and pack them for you first."

  He summoned the abacus and calculated how many pounds of each herb was needed. Of course, the herbs Tang San wanted were definitely not the real formula.

  In fact, it didn't matter if the formula was exposed. The Spirit Hall was based on civilian spirit masters, so they would definitely hoard herbs and then announce the formula. By then, everyone would know the formula, so it wouldn't matter whether it was kept secret or not.

  Boss Sun quickly calculated and ordered his men to transfer the goods.

  Within half an hour, several carts of herbs were weighed and pulled to the warehouse.

  Gula personally checked them and confirmed that there was no problem with the herbs. He took out an empty high-level ball and took all the herbs away.

  Boss Sun's eyes flashed with a strange color. He didn't expect Gula to have such a large soul guide. He didn't dare to neglect it. He wanted to pull Gula to chat about the past, but Gula evaded him and left with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

  After the three of them left, a great soul master guard asked in confusion: "Boss, bandits are rampant near Xinya City and often rob passing caravans. It is said that there are spies of bandits in the city. Don't you remind them?"

  Boss Sun snorted coldly: "What if I remind them? The bandits don't listen to us. They think we are the thieves crying thief."

  "Besides, how do you know that they will be targeted by the bandits? Even if they are targeted, the soul master will definitely be safe and sound. If you talk too much, you will be considered to look down on him."

  Boss Sun sneered. What about soul masters? He used a little trick and said less. He didn't need to do it himself. The three of them would be skinned alive if they didn't die.

  "What if they come back to cause trouble?" The great soul master was terrified and weak when he thought of the pressure he felt just now.

  Boss Sun glanced at him coldly, said nothing, and turned away.

  Of course he would not tell the guards that he had been robbed by bandits before, had seen the bandits' spy once, and had become a new spy to save his life.

  Among the people watching the scene nearby, there were bandits' people, who had already gone to report the news.

  When the time comes, he will get the goods and the bandits will get the money, a win-win situation.

  Gula quickly sensed a hint of malice, and looked at Tang San to make sure that they had both discovered it.

  To be on the safe side, Gula switched to Sherabi's martial spirit, and a silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and he saw the future after leaving the city.   

  "A group of bandits? Oh, and they are connected to the guy named Sun."

  Gula looked at the future, the scene of Tang San interrogating the leader of the bandits, and there seemed to be a question mark above his head.

  He clearly didn't feel that Boss Sun had any ill will towards him. If an ordinary person had any ill will towards him, he shouldn't have been able to hide it from him.

  "Unless his acting skills are so good throughout that he can even fool himself."

  Gula smiled. He was really a talent. In his previous life, he would have been an actor of the best actor level.

  "Then I believe he is also good at acting dead."

  Gula's anger rose in his heart, and he made a note in his little notebook, leaving it to his future self. When he has the ability, he can return to the present at any time to get rid of him.

  As for the extra time he has lived, let him be frightened for a while.

  Gula felt that he was too kind.

  "Xiao San, there may be a fight next, protect Xiao Wu. Don't let her rush in."

  "Got it."

  The two answered efficiently, which made Xiao Wu very dissatisfied: "Who is going to rush in? I have always been smart, okay? Xiao San, you agreed so quickly, do you think I am reckless?"

  Tang San: "...No."

  Xiao Wu snorted, and was satisfied, and then realized:

  "Alas, who are we going to fight?"

  Gula smiled. Tang San was too old-fashioned and boring. It was quite interesting to tease Xiao Wu occasionally.

  "You will know when you leave the city."

  "You are keeping it a secret again. You will be suffocated to death sooner or later."

  Xiao Wu muttered, sulking alone, wanting Gula to compromise and tell her, but Gula didn't indulge her and ignored her completely.

  Xiao Wu had no choice but to convince herself. Slowly, she was no longer angry and looked forward to the battle later.

  The three of them took a carriage out of the city. It was already afternoon. The sun moved westward and was about to set. It was estimated that they would have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to return to Notting City.

  The carriage went out of the city gate for more than ten kilometers and came to a forest. The carriage suddenly stopped and the driver said in a trembling voice: "Three guests, many robbers came out of the forest and surrounded us. We are in trouble."

  "No problem."

  Gula took off his disguise, and Tang San knocked the driver unconscious and pulled him into the carriage.

  The three of them walked out of the carriage and saw more than 30 people with weapons surrounding them, with fierce expressions.

  The leading robber was stunned when he saw the three people, and grabbed the collar of the person next to him: "Didn't you say there was a soul master? Where is he? Why are there only three little brats?"

  The captured spy was dumbfounded. If the soul master is not there, doesn't that mean the goods are not there either? He trembled and said: "I don't know, I saw them get on the carriage, maybe... maybe they got off halfway?"

  "You can't even do a small thing, you useless!"

  The robber leader shouted angrily, kicked his men down, raised his hand and swung his knife:

  "Then tie up all three children for me, and let their families pay the ransom. Guys, come on."

  The robber leader gave an order, and the robbers rushed towards Gula and the other two with strange cries, their greedy eyes full of malice.
